Posted by: erico at Fri Jan 20 15:51:56 2006 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by erico ] RE: Asian Leaf. These are a Vietnamese species. Hibernation would be fatal. Don't even consider it. The desert box is a trickier question. It is in a transitional zone and may or may not brumate. There is (or was) a DB specialist on this forum - try asking him. Nonetheless, I always ask the "hibernation" seekers: " Would you put your dog in isolation for 5 months?????" Is this a "pet" or a science experiment??? I have had box turtles in my care for over 22 years without hibernation and I don't believe it is at all necessary. Others may differ in their opinion, and I accept this. In the "ancient times" (half a century ago) I let my box turtles hibernate in an outdoor pen, but some didn't survive. [ Hide Replies ]
